Few people have ever seen Angel Falls.It’s very hard to get there.38.If you go there on foot,you have to travel for weeks through thick jungles. If you go by plane from Caracas,a city on the southern coast,it will take about four hours.

The fascinating falls are God’s gifts of nature.One of the most interesting facts about Angel Falls is how they were found.They were named after an American pilot.His name was Jimmy Angel.In 1937,he crashed (使……坠毁) his plane near the top of the falls.That’s how he found them.

Angel Falls drop nearly a kilometre (about 979m) from a table-top mountain.The water seems to be dropping straight out of the clouds.The height of the falls is so great that by the time the water reaches the ground it has already turned into fog(雾).

The next time you look up at the sky and see a cloud that looks like Mickey Mouse or your favorite fruit, look again. It may not be a cloud, but a Flogo -- a logo that flies. It's a new form of advertising in the sky that's never been used before. It's a different way to market your products, logos, and events.

These funny logos are made with soap bubbles （肥皂泡） mixed with a little helium gas （氦气） ,which makes them lighter than air and float in the sky. Special machines are used to make these new funny Flogos. The machine, which can be rented for $ 2,500 a day, can make a Flogo every 15-25 seconds.

Flogos can fly much higher or lower if needed. They can last from a few minutes to an hour anywhere in the sky, depending on the weather conditions. Though they can fly up to 20, 000 feet, they usually float around at 300- 500 feet. Flogos are only white now, but people hope to have more colorful Flogos in the near future.

Flogos are Green, 100% environmentally safe, because the soap used to make the Flogo comes from plants and leaves. So this fun way of advertising is healthy and good for the environment.

1.Flogos are mainly used to _____.

A. advertise in the sky B. make funny bubbles

C. improve weather conditions D. see colorful clouds

2.Why are Flogos healthy and good for the environment?

A. Because they can float high and last for a long time in the sky.

B. Because there is a little helium gas mixed with soap bubbles.

C. Because the machines used to make them are special and expensive.

D. Because the soap used to make them comes from plants and leaves.

3.From the passage, we can infer that Flogos _____.

A. can fly for hours in the sky all day B. can have different colors at present

C. may be influenced by the weather D. may be the cheapest way of advertising

4.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A. Machines -- Used for Flogos! B. Flogos -- Logos that fly!

C. Advertising -- Made of Fruits! D. Clouds -- Like Mickey Mouse!

Many people believe that yellowing and wetness are the greatest enemy of stamps. In fact, stamps are afraid of not only wetness, but also light and dirty things. People protect their stamps in several different ways.

To protect stamps, we should never touch the stamps with our hands. This avoids moving dirty things onto them. Stamp tweezers(镊子) should be used in all conditions.

Stamps are printed things. The color will slowly disappear if the stamps are put in the light for a long time. So we should not put stamps in the light for long. Direct sunlight must be avoided as well.

Wetness is an important problem for stamps. Some collectors will put stamps in separate plastic (塑料) bags. However, it is possible that some stamps have taken in some water from the air before they are put into the plastic bags. Stamps become yellow easily and rapidly after they take in wet air. To protect the stamps, some people also put the stamps into a special room which has a machine to keep the air cool and dry. However, not many people can afford that.

To_keep_stamps,_stamp_collectors_usually_put_them_under_plastic_covers. It is a common and simple way. This helps because the plastic cover keeps the stamps off the wet air. It also stops the fingers from touching the stamps.

Some collectors prefer to store stamps inside a plastic box with desiccants(干燥剂)．However, we should take care not to let the stamps touch the desi?ccants. On top of that, don't take your stamps out on a wet day.

Pizza has a long history. The ancient Greeks(希腊人) first had the idea of putting 1. (蔬菜) on pieces of bread, and ＂Pizza ovens＂ have been found in Roman cities.

(拜访) by the Italian King and Queen in 1889, and so the first pizza Margarita was 5. (创造), named after the Queen.

Pizza became a favorite dish in Italy, but pizza really became an 6. (国际的) dish after the Second World War, when 7. (千) of American soldiers went home from Europe. 8. (不久) there were pizzerias all over the USA, and American chains(连锁店) like Pizza Hut 9. (传播) the idea around the world. Today the average American eats over ten kilograms of pizza a year, and the world’s 10. (最大的) pizza was baked out not in Italy, but in Cuba!
